The Hidden Truth

Zach’s plan to keep his wife, Kendall, out of prison is almost
foiled this week on AMC -- by her own mother.

“Zach is hiding Kendall in a secret room in his house because
he feels
once she is in the prison system, she won’t come out,” says Thorsten
Kaye, who plays the wealthy casino owner. “He found someone
who looks like Kendall and put her in prison instead.”

With a little help from the police commissioner and,
apparently, a very
forward-thinking builder.

“I don’t know about you, but when I build a house, I always
build in a
secret room so I can hide my wife if she’s ever accused of murder,”
quips Kaye. “Kendall doesn’t spend too much time in there,
though. She’s in the great room all the time.”

Which is how Erica stumbles onto their scheme.

“Erica comes in the house -- ‘What’s going on with you and
Liza?’-- and
sees a glass,” says Kaye. “Zach tries to explain it away, but
Erica says, ‘My daughter is in prison and you’re cheating on
her?’ Which he isn’t, ‘cause Kendall is there!”

The plan is to hide Kendall until Jesse and Zach can prove she
didn’t
kill Stuart.

“They’re trying to prove that Annie did it,” says Kaye, adding
that
perhaps Adam killed his own twin. “You have to question, ‘Why
did Stuart look like Adam that day? Why did he put on a
jacket and comb his hair?’ If Adam did do it, it was not
because he wanted to kill his brother, but because he was so full of
self-loathing, he tried to commit suicide.”

While out proving his theory, Zach begs Kendall to retire to
the secret
room and write a book, which she does -- about him.

“Maybe that’s her way of trying to cleanse herself.
It was
one thing sleeping with Aidan when she thought Zach was dead for five
minutes, but to know he’s alive and choose Ryan? I’m not sure
what kind of book she can write to feel better about that.”

They argue -- and Kendall collapses.

“Zach calls 911, but then hangs up when she comes to,” says
Kaye. “Turns out she was just overwrought with her love for
Zach.”

No, really.

“She forgot to take her heart medication,” Kaye says.

Kendall is so grateful for Zach’s help that she kisses him,
leading to
a romantic reunion for the estranged duo.

“There are a lot of question marks for me with this story, but
the
ratings are up,” says Kaye with a shrug. “Still, the taste of
Ryan on her lips is a bit of a turnoff.”
